Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Good for you, Dave. The sun is just coming out here. These last few rainy days have helped our dry conditions quite a bit. I had orthoscopic surgery on my knee this morning and am back home. He took out some messed up cartilage. I'm getting around pretty good - it aches some and my leg is in a compression bandage - have Darvoset for that. I had general anesthesia and feel crappy from that and my throat is sore from some pipe they had in it. They actually want me to be active and not lay around. I'm not letting them know that at work though. I have physical therapy Thursday - probably should get some mental kind when I'm there as well :-) Hi everyone - hope you're all doing fine. Dennis [ ] quiet on the home front Good morning all, pretty quiet this morning. I got up to a beautiful morning and had a 10 mile bike ride before showering for work this morning. It's GREAT to be alive! We are expecting 70's today, which would be a first. It is 51 right now at 8am. Hope you are all having a great day! -dz- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I hope you recover quickly. Soon you'll be wanting to hike those mountains again. Any indication on how they thought the surgery went? No need to tell them at work about the activity thing.. The dr probably just meant activity at doing fun things. -dz- Dennis <dhuber@...> wrote: Good for you, Dave. The sun is just coming out here.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 Thanks. It appears it went fine. I was getting around ok yesterday afternoon but today it has stiffened up and is not so much fun. I'm getting around some with a stiff leg. And I go in for physical therapy Thursday. They said I would probably want to take some Darvocet after that. I'm a little apprehensive. :-) No problem about the going back to work decision! 89 degrees here today - a little much this soon - but I'm not complaining. Our southwestern counterparts think that's cool. Dennis [ ] quiet on the home front Good morning all, pretty quiet this morning.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 We were up in the 80's too. We set a record yesterday and the day before. I've got the air running. Just a week or so ago I was debating whether it was safe to put the snowblower away. Today we're expecting 70's. -dz- Dennis <dhuber@...> wrote: Thanks. It appears it went fine.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 The surgery was a breeze. Knee very stiff now. Front & back action fine but twisting or sideways action kills big time. Took dressings off today and half of what I thought was dressing was swelling. Only two 1/4" incisions and are healing fine. Therapy tomorrow - I'm telling them if they plan to rotate or move the joint sideways, I'm leaving! I mean that. The doc gave me some real nice color photos of the inside of my Knee during surgery. Find a reputable dr - mine was part of a sports medicine group and they deal with this sort of thing often. Dennis [ ] quiet on the home front Good morning all, pretty quiet this morning.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Make sure you remind him that the knee is not meant to turn sideways...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 My uncle has problems with his knees, and he says biking seems to help a lot. He's a little sore immediately afterwards but he notices an improvement after a day or so. He's 70 and hits the trails to 20 miles or so on a regular basis. I'm going to bike with him, but I'm nervous that I'll tire out before he does!! -dz- Dennis <dhuber@...> wrote: I did ok but it wasn't much fun riding that bike.
